Vintage Fridays: Pat Kelly, 1977 Topps #469

And now, a snippet of conversation between Pat Kelly and Earl Weaver:

KELLY: "Skip, don't you want me to walk with the Lord?"

WEAVER: "I'd rather you walk with the bases loaded."

Aaaand scene.

    I put up a link on my blog that may interest Oriole card collectors today regarding the 1983 team. Check out http://ultimateset.blogspot.com/.

    Bob - Yep, Earl is just as live as Morgan Freeman.

    Dave - He sure is. Just ask ex-umpire Ron Luciano.

    Kevin - That is an interesting post! I didn't even realize that Boddicker didn't have a 1983 card.
